There could be trouble ahead for destiny

The negativity surrounding destiny seems to be growing by the day. Every event, every update and almost every effort that bungie make to keep destiny hanging in there seems to fail and upset the (vocal) community. This now includes me. I've enjoyed my 600 hours on this game but I'm completely out of grind now and can't imagine I'll keep coming back for even more punishment for very much longer... The problem is that I'm now thinking about what is the point in grinding my way to 32 if the gear from the next dlc goes onsale, day one, at a higher level than what I can 'earn' over the next 3 months. I could easily just not play until march and pick it up again then instead of wasting dozens of hours grinding gear that will be worthless (see vog gear). Then I start wondering, what if I stop playing now and wait for the new dlc, then what if they don't sell the higher level gear and I'm left behind. Either way I can grind now or grind in march. Nothing will be any different with the next dlc as there will be another dlc planned after it which will put us in this same situation again and then I'm sure again after that. I think my point is that what destiny has to offer is some of the best gunplay I have ever experienced but then it gives me nothing to do with it. I dont just play for the gear or light level but when everything i do in this game becomes irrelevant at the launch of every dlc then there is literally no reason to keep going. I gave destiny the benefit of the doubt through the early days pre dlc. I was hoping the the dark below would make use of the awesome foundation that destiny has but it simply confirms that there will never be any substance to this game and that it'll only ever be a never ending and pointless grind. With a very short cycle between dlc's I am not doing this every few months. The dlc restricts the game instead of expanding it. I have gone from having hope to being totally disinterested. People can only be let down so many times before they give up and I think that time is fast approaching. I'm expecting responses which will collect my tears (there are loads, help yourself) and other equally useful replies but this post is intended solely to show that even the people who have loved and defended this game can be pushed to the point of leaving. Tl;Dr boo hoo Edit: there seems to be an opinion emerging that I am trying to convince people not to play destiny which is absolutely not what I am getting at. I hope that everyone who is enjoying the game can carry on doing exactly that. I doubt anyone has ever read a thread like this and thought, duh this guy isn't going to play anymore so maybe I wont. Also, to be clear, this was not an announcement that I am quitting. I don't want a refund and still don't need anyone's shoulder to cry on. For everyone with their constructive feedback, whether it is of the same opinion as mine or not I would like to say thank you.
